When you pay $8.50 for a baguette, it needs to be very good. I’m happy to say that the baguette I got from new Kensington cafe, Luncheonette (173 Rankins Road, Kensington), was worth every cent. I believe the bread is from Dench, which is a good start, and was filled with nicely poached chicken, quality mayonnaise, ripe tomato and some lettuce. If I had a complaint, it would be about the size, but given the quality of the ingredients, it’s fair.
Like the baguette, the cafe itself is pretty small. It’s simply but tastefully fitted out, and I’d be happy to return to explore more of the menu.
